The guy describes his early Shimano 600 (late '70s) DT
shifters\derailleurs set as "burlesque."

Do you suppose he means "Arabesque" or are his offerings
indeed burlesque, designed to spice up your ride?

Yes, the shifters are Arabesque. I guess the bicycle equivalent of naked girl mudflaps will have to wait a little longer. Maybe Campy could do it tastefully?

Perhaps the infamous Zoe is still showing off her wares on eBay. That could be considered 'burlesque' :p .

I'm not certain that there is a tasteful way of doing naked girl mudflaps, but Campy would probably do the best job :D .

I think it goes like this:

"Wrinkles and Cherry and Twinkie and Pinkie and Fifi live from gay Paree
"Fanfares, rim shots, back stage, who cares, all this arabesque for me."

(Apologies to Tom Waits ....)
